What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2011

A sports and pop-culture site owned by ESPN, started in 2011 by the writer Bill Simmons.

It was named after the early 20th century sportswriter Grantland Rice. Simmons left as editor-in-chief in May 2015, and on 30 October that year ESPN announced it was ending the site.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
